Letoya Makhene Drops Soulful New Track "Abantu," Reflecting on Personal Healing and Growth
Actress, musician, and sangoma Letoya Makhene is set to release her new Afro-soul track, Abantu, which reflects her personal journey of healing from past trauma.
The song, which speaks about how people can either lift you up or tear you down, holds deep meaning for Letoya, especially after overcoming abuse in a previous relationship.
Produced by Nkululeko LordJazz Sithole and co-produced by award-winning artist Ntethe, Abantu has been an intense and magical project for Letoya, accelerating her recovery.
“Working on this, specifically, was both intense and magical as this song is so close to home. The magic was the healing that it brought me after the trauma I’ve suffered.”
Letoya said God gave her a song that literally sped up her healing process.
“I’m healing from the trauma of the deep abuse I suffered from my past relationship. I haven’t made full recovery yet but can safely say I like where I am and looking forward to where I’m going.”
